Tumblr Community Labels PSA

hey guys, just a quick PSA message to let you all know… tumblr has released a new feature called “community labels” where you can label your posts as mature so that people can voluntarily filter or blur posts that contain certain subjects… however while your first encounter with it will likely be while posting, it’s also Already affecting your settings. if you go into your dashboard settings you’ll see a new section that looks like this…

THESE ARE ALL SET TO “HIDE” BY DEFAULT.

tumblr is currently hiding all flagged mature content from you unless you manually turn it on lmao. just thought i’d let you all know!

On PC, you do actually have a little cryptic words about it─

[ID1: Screenshot of the “Community Labels” section of tumblr’s settings, which is described as “Control how you see certain topics across Tumblr.” There is a list of settings, each with radio buttons labelled “Show”, “Blur”, and “Hide”. The settings are as follows:

“Mature: Contains content that may not be suitable for all audiences”.

Underneath is a sub-category: “Customize per topic”. The topics are as follows:

“Drug and alcohol addiction: Contains discussion of substance abuse or addiction experience.”

“Violence: Contains violent or graphic content similar to what you might see in an age-restricted movie.”

“Sexual themes: Contains sexually suggestive subject matter, such as erotic writing or imagery.” /end ID1]

[ID2: Screenshot of the beginning of the tumblr dashboard. There is a blue box that says, “Did you know? You now have greater control over the content you see on Tumblr.” There are two options underneath: “Dismiss” and “Take me to my settings”. /end ID2]
